PRELIM 4E CHEM 2022 6092/02 2 Section A Answer all questions in this section in the spaces provided. The total mark for this section is 50. A1 (a) The diagrams can be used to represent the structures of organic compounds that produce a smell. A H3C — CH2 — CH = CH2 B H3C — CH2 — CH2 — CH2 — CH2 | O — H C H3C — CH2 — CH2 — CH2 — CH2 — CH2 | O — H D H3C — CH2 — CH2 — C = O | O — H E H3C — CH2 — CH2 — CH — CH3 | O — H F H3C — CH = CH — CH3 Use the letters A, B, C, D, E and F to answer the questions. Each letter may be used once, more than once or not at all. (i) Which compounds are isomers? ……………………………………………………………………………….. [1] (ii) Suggest one pair of compounds that undergoes a reaction to form an ester. ……………………………………………………………………………….. [1] (iii) Which compounds can decolourise aqueous bromine? ……………………………………………………………………………….. [1]
PRELIM 4E CHEM 2022 6092/02 3 (iv) Which compound can react with magnesium to produce a gas that extinguished a lighted splint with a ‘pop’ sound? ……………………………………………………………………………….. [1] (b) Crude oil produces a range of substances that have many uses. Which statements about the different fractions of crude oil are true and which are false? Put a tick (✔) in one box in each row. true false Petroleum is separated by different density into different fractions. Alkanes used in diesel fuel have lower boiling points than those used in motor cars. The fraction used as feedstock for making plastics is extracted from higher up the fractionating column than the fraction used for kerosene (paraffin). Each fraction contains a mixture of hydrocarbons. [2] [Total: 6]
PRELIM 4E CHEM 2022 6092/02 4 A2 (a) Ethanol can be manufactured by the catalysed addition of steam to ethene. Ethene is obtained from crude oil. The reaction is reversible and can be represented with the following flow scheme. (i) Write a balanced chemical equation for the catalysed addition of steam to ethene. ………………………………………………………………………………. [1] (ii) Give a reason why the unreacted ethene is recycled. ………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………. [1] (iii) It is important that oxygen does not enter the reaction chamber. Suggest a reason why. ………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………. [1] IN ethene and steam phosphoric acid catalyst absorbed on silica pellets reaction chamber optimum conditions: 300oC, 60 – 70 atm OUT liquid ethanol and water unreacted ethene recycled to top of reaction chamber gases are cooled
PRELIM 4E CHEM 2022 6092/02 5 (b) Temperature will affect both the rate of reaction and yield of ethanol produced. The graph shows the yield of ethanol that is made under different conditions. (i) Using information from the graph, state the temperature and pressure that would give the highest yield of ethanol. ……………………………………………………………………………….. [1] (ii) Explain why the optimum conditions for the production of ethanol are different from your answers in (b)(i). ……………………………………………..………………………………… ……………………………………………..………………………………… ……………………………………………..………………………………… [2] [Total: 6] pressure/atm
PRELIM 4E CHEM 2022 6092/02 6 A3 In 2010, the Nobel Prize Physics was awarded for production of graphene from graphite. Graphene is an allotrope of carbon consisting of a single layer of atoms arranged in a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice structure. Fig. 3.1 shows the structure of gra phene and Fig. 3.2 shows the structure of graphite. Fig. 3.1 Fig.3.2 (a) Graphene can be prepared from graphite using sticky tape. Use ideas about bonding and structure in graphite to explain why it is possible to create graphene by this method. ……………………………………………..…………………………………..…... ……………………………………………..…………………………………..…... ……………………………………………..…………………………………..…...

Explain how graphene can conduct electricity and have high strength. ……………………………………………..…………………………………..…... ……………………………………………..…………………………………..…... ……………………………………………..…………………………………..…... ……………………………………………..…………………………………..…... ……………………………………………..…………………………………..…... ……………………………………………..…………………………………..…... [4] carbon atoms
PRELIM 4E CHEM 2022 6092/02 7 (c) Graphene is transparent hence it is suitable to overlay a monitor screen and function as a touchscreen. Explain why graphene is transparent. ……………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………… [1] [Total: 7] A4 Table 4.1 shows results of different tests conducted to compare the properties of two dibasic acid, sulfuric acid and tartaric acid, of the same concentration.
